Atithi's chefs love dosa. So much so that in addition to 20 standard dosas?thin, crispy Indian pancakes flavored with everything from cheese to mint?they've dreamed up a 4-foot version dubbed "the longest dosa in town." The diverse menu also boasts 28 varieties of curry, including lamb in spinach gravy and chicken tikka masala. Complementing these savory dishes, the full bar's selection of beers, spirits, cocktails, and traditional Indian drinks are part and parcel of Atithi's mission to keep liquor employed?and to serve every "honorable guest" the eatery's Sanskrit name translates to.

Priya Restaurant began when four housewives joined forces, fusing their experiences with homestyle cooking to create a menu of traditional South Indian and Indo-Chinese cuisine. Roust slumbering appetites with starters such as the paneer pakoda, which quick-fries spicy battered cubes of cottage cheese for bite-size treats ($5.99). Priya builds international bridges with an enormous supply of suspension cables and a fistful of Indo-Chinese entrees, such as the chicken manchurian, where stir-fried meat basks in soy sauce and chilies ($11.99). Meanwhile, vegetarian tiffin meals arrive with an entourage of three chutneys and sambar, accompanying hefty portions of pancake-like uthappam ($7.99) or dosa ($7.99), whose rice-and-lentil overcoat allows it to inconspicuously sneak into unsuspecting mouths. Finally sip a selection of Indian beers while enjoying bites of the bendi masala's spicy platter of okra ($9.99), which silences grousing stomachs before they blurt out the secret hiding place of their owners' spare house keys.

The epicurean alchemists at India House, winner of Chicago magazine's Best Indian Buffet designation, draw inspiration from many places: the cuisine of Bombay and Delhi, Indian street fare, and homestyle tandoori cooking. The menu's more than 250 items please vegetarian and meat-eating palates alike with curries and kebabs that use the flavors of fresh cilantro, chilies, and coconut. A reviewer for the Chicago Tribune praises the restaurant?s ?incredibly tender tandoori chicken,? and Chicago magazine says the fiery "Hyderabadi-style mahi-mahi ? is a must." Midday lunchers can dig into a buffet whose myriad options make it difficult to decide which delicious curries should be ladled over naan and rice.

Dakshin Indian Cuisine's creative chefs blend southern-Indian spices with Chinese flavors, crafting a menu of artful eats with elegant tastes. Dakshin means "south" in Sanskrit, and the southern starters shine, with the traditional Rasam soup ($2.99,) chock-full of tamarind, lentil, and piquant spices, great for warming up stomachs and filling pockets with a snack for later. Thin, lentil crêpes, or dosas, hail from the south and come smothered with cooked minced meat in the keema dosa ($9.99) or potato and onion in the masala dosa ($6.99). Chinese influences seep through the sauce of the szechwan chicken hakka noodles ($9.99), covered in julienned vegetables and sprinkled with secret messages in Mandarin.
